Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a 2003 O Henry Prize winner, and was shortlisted for the 2002 Caine Prize for African Writing and the 2004 Orange Prize. In Purple Hibiscus, she recounts the story of a young Nigerian girl searching for freedom. Although her father is greatly respected within their community, 15-year-old Kambili knows a frighteningly strict and abusive side to this man. In many ways, she and her family lead a privileged life, but Kambili and her brother, Jaja, are often punished for failing to meet their father’s expectations. After visiting her aunt and cousins, Kambili dreams of being part of a loving family. But a military coup brings new tension to Nigeria and her home, and Kambili wonders if her dreams will ever be fulfilled. Adichie’s striking and poetic language reveals a land and a family full of strife, but fighting to survive. A rich narration by South African native Lisette Lecat perfectly complements this inspiring tale.

Opinie krytyków

"One of the best novels to come out of Africa in years." ( The Baltimore Sun)
“Prose as lush as the Nigerian landscape that it powerfully evokes. . . . Adichie's understanding of a young girl's heart is so acute that her story ultimately rises above its setting and makes her little part of Nigeria seem as close and vivid as Eudora Welty's Mississippi.” ( The Boston Globe)
"A sensitive and touching story of a child exposed too early to religious intolerance and the uglier side of the Nigerian state." (J. M. Coetzee)

I really enjoyed the story and the different tonalities the speaker used, but nevertheless I couldn’t imagine myself into the nigerian setting because of the strong southern African accent. Unfortunately this bordered me a lot during the story…

Great Story, but the accent

A sensitive, stirring story of a family, religion, love and abuse flowing into each other narrated in an authentic way.

I loved the story, although after reading Americanah, I don’t think any other book of hers can be quite as good. I was probably longing for a more happy ending for this story.

The simplicity in presenting such cruel realities of the nigerian society with such elegance.

I found this book because I was looking for another book that was read by Lisette Lecat. I LIKE her voice and intonation so I really wondered why another listener should give her a negative comment. This was an impressive story and in my opinion it was perfectly read by the reader. Who cares (or knows) if this accent was the rigth one for Nigerian people? So I feel the need to compliment not only the writer but also the reader.

The story is authentic. What really spoiled the book for me was using a narrator from southern Africa. The Narrator had no idea of the correct inflections or pronunciations of the typical Nigerian words at all and usung the southern African inflections and pronunciations just killed the story, . maybe to someone not from Nigeria or even west Africa it qouldnt be noticeable but as a native from there it hurt my soul to hear such pronounciations. Please localize when using Narrators or else let a european/ american person read. Simply having an " African accent" for the Narrator does not work. Audible can and must do better!!!
After all books by Britush authoes are read by british Narrators, american books by American narrators so please use Nigerian narrators for Nigerian authors.

Please localize the Narrator
